Lurking on this post for a long time. BUT — I just remembered a good one. Laugh at this, OK?
I went to a job interview. I actually flat out quit my previous job because my boss pissed me off. I politely quit at the end of the next day.
Forget #1: My wife doesn’t remember me telling her that I quit. I may or may not have — a very stupid thing to do is quit a job before you have another… so – on with Forget # 2.
I went to this next job interview. Very nervous and I needed to go to the head just before the interview. I was wearing my suit and power tie <grin>. After dispensing with the duty in the bathroom — I decided my shirt didn’t look good. So, like my daddy taught me, I reached into my pants through my open zipper and pulled the tails of the shirt down to present clean shirt lines all around… looking good I left the latrine and headed into the interview.
Setting on a provided stool, the CEO and his flunky proceeded to interview me. I had a tour of the place and we ended the interview on what I believed was a VERY good note. I left the building pumped… until…. realization of “Forget # 2”.
Can you guess???
Well, upon leaving the building I was a little sweaty from nerves, and the cool outdoor air felt really good… oh – wait a minute, cool air feels good but, but — NOT DOWN THERE???? OMG.
FORGET # 2: My fly was open, wide open. 😳
I never closed it after tucking in my shirt tails. Sat there during the entire interview – the tour – EVERYTHING… 😆
The punch line: I GOT THE JOB!!! When I left the company a couple of years later – the two who interviewed me mentioned that they wondered about a guy who would interview with an open fly. I countered with, “well — when I got the job I worried about you two in that same sort of way… 😉 touché ❗
